Georgia lawmakers debated what safety measures can be implemented at schools across the state to reduce gun violence in the aftermath of the shooting at Apalachee High School in Barrow County. Members of the Georgia Senate Safe Firearm Storage Study Committee on Thursday discussed what should be done to prevent more school shootings, as there is now an increased sense of urgency to address safety concerns following the shooting on Wednesday, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
The two students killed in the shooting were identified as Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, while the two adults killed were identified as Math teachers Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie. The Georgia Senate committee is now considering what new measures can be added to curb gun violence while at the same time protecting the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
